G MFFY

While driving through the grocery store parking lot I almost got
T-boned by a MFFY in a fugly MB G-class SUV. He came flying out of one
of the parking aisles mere feet in front of me; if I had been going as
fast as he was I'd have been broad-sided for sure. You'd think someone
who spent $100,000+ on a vehicle would be a bit more careful with
it...

If your maneuver forces another driver WHO HAS THE RIGHT-OF-WAY
to alter course or speed, what you did was probably MFFY.

Maybe he has a "not-my-fault" insurance policy; crash the car and get a
new one from the insurance company. It's difficult to place blame while
on private property. There is no legal right-of-way that can be cited,
and so you can become trapped in a game of endless accusations when two
drivers are involved in a crash. He could say that you cut him off, and
that you should've braked for him. MFFY! Only when you have a serious
injury can you expect legal support.

This driver may also have an expectation that if he hits anybody, his
truck will simply crush the victim's car without much damage occurring
to the truck. He could perhaps use that behaviour to dislodge some of
the notorious LLBs, red light runners, and merge-impaired drivers on the
roads.
